I have, but it is not a realistic tool on a UNIX system that has a lot of disk space. It is not like updating a small 100-200MB Dos drive when you have 5-6GB of disk space. It can take forever. There are work-arounds to make it happen faster, but still not good enough IMHO. The user-interface is similiar to that of the dos version and the underlying theory is solid, but the product just doesn't map well to a UNIX environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott Brown HAEC brown@hac2arpa.hac.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
